    SEATTLE SEAHAWKS SOLD?! Super Bowl LX Champions Face Shocking Ownership Change

    The Seattle Seahawks are officially your Super Bowl LX champions! But in a shocking twist just one day after the massive downtown Super Bowl parade, the Paul G. Allen Estate announced the team is officially up for sale. Join us as we break down the monumental 29-13 victory over the New England Patriots, cementing Sam Darnold as a legendary championship quarterback. We dive deep into the euphoria of the 12s, the immediate aftermath of locker cleanout day, and the front office securing 15 future contracts just a day after the parade. Why sell now? We unpack the brilliant timing of cashing out at peak franchise valuation and how the multi-billion dollar NFL franchise sale will be used to fund the late Paul Allen's philanthropic legacy. With the 2026 NFL offseason looming and free agency just weeks away, we discuss what an unprecedented ownership change means for the chemistry, culture, and future of the Seattle Seahawks. 0:00 The Seattle Seahawks are Super Bowl Champions! 0:48 Breaking Down the Dominant 29-13 Win Over the Patriots 1:35 Sam Darnold's Unbelievable NFL Redemption Story 2:15 The Epic Championship Parade in Downtown Seattle 3:05 Locker Cleanout Day and the Finality of the 2025 Season 4:10 BREAKING NEWS: Paul G.

    Seahawks Hire Thomas Hammock! Highest Paid RB Coach & The Secret "Shadow OC"

    The Seattle Seahawks just shocked the NFL by hiring Thomas Hammock as their new Senior Offensive Assistant and Running Backs Coach, making him the highest-paid running backs coach in the league. Is Hammock secretly operating as the "Shadow OC" behind new Offensive Coordinator Brian Fleury? In this deep dive, we break down what this historic hiring means for the Seahawks offense under head coach Mike Macdonald. We analyze the drastic philosophical shift from Fleury's finesse, synchronized-swimming wide-zone scheme (from the San Francisco 49ers tree) to Hammock's brutal, gap-scheme, bar-fight mentality forged with the Baltimore Ravens and Wisconsin Badgers. Why did Hammock leave his head coaching job at Northern Illinois University (NIU) after a historic upset against Notre Dame? What happens if Brian Fleury's play-calling struggles early on? We cover the massive salary leverage, the clash of offensive schemes, and why Seattle is desperately trying to build a weather-proof, physical football team to survive the NFC West.

    Seattle Seahawks 1992 Anomaly: Why Cortez Kennedy Won DPOY & The Z-Score OL Rankings

    Discover the legendary story of Cortez Kennedy and the 1992 Seattle Seahawks, a team that completely defied NFL history. In this deep dive podcast, we explore how Kennedy managed to win the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award with 14 sacks and 92 tackles on a dismal 2-14 team. We break down the sheer misery of an offense that averaged fewer than 9 points a game, and how Kennedy honored the late Jerome Brown by changing his jersey to number 99. We also explore a massive statistical study by Reddit user jmen122, who used Z-scores to rank all 2,100 offensive lines in NFL history. We compare the cold, hard math of football analytics—like Walter Jones giving up only 23 sacks in 180 games—with the undeniable "heart" of being a loyal 12th Man. From the brilliant "Seattle Sports Hell" blog to the chaotic 1986 Buddy Ryan Eagles giving up an astonishing 104 sacks, this episode bridges the gap between raw NFL stats and deep fan emotion. 0:00 Welcome to the Pacific Northwest and the culture of the 12s 1:15 The Seattle Sports Hell blog and the misery of the 1992 season 2:45 Cortez Kennedy's historic 1992 DPOY season on a 2-14 team 4:30 The brutal weight ultimatums and the college pizza story 6:15 Honoring Jerome Brown: Why Cortez Kennedy switched to number 99 7:45 Reddit user jmen122 ranks all 2,100 NFL offensive lines using Z-scores 9:30 Walter Jones' dominance and the 2005 Seahawks Super Bowl run 11:15 The 1986 Philadelphia Eagles and Buddy Ryan's 104-sack disaster 13:00 The eternal debate: Cold hard analytics versus the heart of a sports fan Cortez Kennedy, 1992 Seattle Seahawks, NFL defensive player of the year, Seattle Seahawks history, NFL offensive line rankings, Walter Jones stats, Seattle Sports Hell blog, Buddy Ryan 1986 Eagles, NFL Z-score analytics, jmen122 Reddit NFL, 12th man Seahawks fans, sports podcast, NFL history podcast, Cortez Kennedy Jerome Brown, NFL statistical anomalies #SeattleSeahawks #CortezKennedy #NFLHistory #NFLStats #12thMan #SportsPodcast #OffensiveLine #FootballAnalytics
